Reports (1)
- Note field is incorrect "The statement that the full copy of a Polish birth certificate still shows a person's old data after a gender marker change is incorrect. This misconception contradicts the principles of rectification under the Polish Act of November 28, 2014 (Law on Civil Status Records). Following a final court order establishing gender (a procedure recently clarified by the Resolution of the Full Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court of March 4, 2025, Ref. No. III CZP 6/24, which applies Art. 36 of the Civil Status Records Act by analogy), the original birth record is legally rectified. When the Civil Status Office issues the full copy, which is a literal repetition of the record (Art. 44 sec. 2), the main text will display the current, correct data because the act itself has been corrected.
